      Hello zest389tea! I was looking at real Albert Einstein quotes for a different question by Calray and i think this might be my new favourite quote:

      “Study and, in general, the pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.” – This is a quote from a letter that he sent to Adrianna Enriques (a girl that he met at a conference who asked for his signature [she was there with her father who was a Professor]) in 1921.

      Hi zest389,

      My favourite quote is from Karl Marx ( Some people say the quote is from Napoleon III)

      “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.”

      Somewhat to science is either one of these:
      “Anyone who believes in indefinite physical growth on a physically finite planet, is either mad or an economist’ – Kenneth Boulding

      ‘Experience without theory is blind but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.’ – Immanuel Kant
